for thanksgiving I had two pints of haagen daz ice cream...rocky road and chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. just what i didn't need but I wanted to celebrate and what better way than with ice cream.
the day before thanksgiving the building manager came to my apartment. I was so scared. well, he fell over backwards to be nice to be. without even testing the stove, the excuse he used to come to my apartment(the super could have come or a workman) he said I needed a new stove. he asked if i need a new refrigerator. I was so floored I didn't answer. I walked him into the main room and said i needed a new air conditioner. He said he couldn't order it now but to call him in March. He was smiling and SO FRIENDLY..HE CALLED ME HONEY...HE EVEN MENTIONED MY HAVING A PAIN JOB...but i said right now it was too stressful and I couldn't take stressful. Then I mentioned birds and he thought I was referring to something negative he had said about all my former birds but I said no your grandfather or somebody. Then he told me the story of his uncle who raised beautiful canaries which were every body's envy because of their gorgeous orange color. His uncle put food coloring in their water bowl and they would give themselves baths and give themselve that color. Nobody knew.
I have no idea what the building is doing. I felt so relieved after meeting with him. He certainly didn't act as if they were planning on evicting me. He treated me as I was the world's most desirable tenant and I was sitting on their pot of gold. In this market, I am pretty sure that they might even get five hundred thousand dollars for my apartment.
My expenses are going to go way up when the cleaning person starts working every week starting this Tuesday. My friend said she would help me but I didn't ask her. I have also been spending more money on ebay. I think I am getting more reconciled to eventually living in a senior apartment housing where the rents are much cheaper but my friend wrote that she thought that wouldn't happen. I finally called my uncle and told him I hadn't called because I had overwhelming problems but now they were settling down. He was very understanding. I didn't laugh during the conversation but on occasion pleaded with him not to worry about me and that I was the luckier sister. He thought it was very sad that my sister or her sons weren't helping me. I couldn't believe it but I told him a couple of times to feel compassion for her...that was me talking....I must be getting healthier unless I am really crazy lol
